Keep your heavy performance speakers safe and in the proper position during performances with this pair of Air Cushioned Speaker Stands from Monoprice!

These heavy-duty steel stands are designed with the performance professional in mind. They are constructed from 1 3/8" diameter steel tubes and can each hold up to 130 lbs in weight. Each speaker can be positioned from 43" to more than 7 feet above the stage, ensuring that your music reaches your entire audience. A built-in pneumatic shock absorber in each stand provides an extra level of safety by preventing speaker drops or falls. The base of the stand measures about 42" when fully expanded.

I was not quite sure about buying this stand at first due to the price. However I was quite surprised at how sturdy they were and much better than the the Ultimate Stands. Don't hesitate just get them.

PROS: Sturdy, well built, easy to operate, air cushioned so speaker wont drop.

CONS: My only issue is that one of the stand is missing the locking screw for the legs. I have to figure out how to go about replacing it because its a safety issue and the price I paid for this, it just might be better to get another pair than to pay to ship it back to Monoprice

I put two 15" JBL EON speakers on one stand with a dual bracket adapter. This stand is the most affordable yet heavy duty enough to handle it. With about 80lbs. of weight on it, the stand showed no signs of visible stress.

The stand itself is pretty heavy compared to all of the other lightweight stands. The air cushion is nice when lowering heavy speakers.

These stands are 100% perfect for any professional! They have plenty of adjustment points and a lock pin, very useful for the DJ who wants to ensure the speakers are at the same height. The pneumatic shock absorber has the effect of an air cushion when you let the speaker down. This feature is very useful when your speaker weighs almost 80 lbs.! My other stands have a crank handle which raises and lowers, these stands rival those (and at 1/3 the price!)

I use stands 4-6 times a week, so they need to be durable, as well as sturdy... these ARE, and more!! The only thing, I believe, that would make them any better, would be a carrying case or bag. As for the weight, they are made of tubular steel... not aluminum. They are just as heavy as they need to be, but no complaints, just an observation.

As a professional DJ/VJ/KJ, I would HIGHLY recommend getting these (as a matter of fact, I'm getting ANOTHER PAIR!). Monoprice is MY supplier for everything Pro Audio!! A SOLID 10!

These are excellent stands at entry level price and you get two stands for the price of one. Nice rubber feet so they wont scratch floor or slide around. Air cushion is nice feature but I would've like a safety pin hole for added security. Overall you can't get better stands at this price. I would love to see what monoprice can do with a crank stand for use of truss system.

I greated my own adapter from aluminum to mount wind flag or spotting scope on top of this tripod. Held the wind flag upright in 20 mph wind. Sturdy to hold large spotting scope about as still as you can in this Oklahoma wind. Like them a lot.

I use these every single weekend and they are holding up great. The plastic top have started falling off but that is no big deal. They work great and hold my items perfectly. I'm never scared they will tip over and break something or hurt anyone. They are on the smaller form factor size so they might not feel strong but they actually are pretty strong. Love these. Lighter than the PRO ones.

Cant' complain too much for the price. They hold my speakers at the height I need. If I had to nitpick I'd say that the tripod legs are difficult to get into the position you want....it takes quite a bit of muscle to get them to open more than a little. Not a big deal unless you're setting them a lot.

As you read this, keep in mind I've only used these stands twice (and I am using fairly small (yet powerful) speakers). These stands seems just as good as even the best speaker stands I've used in the past. Yet these seem more lightweight - even my 7 year old can carry them, yet I'm not afraid of them breaking if he drops one. I'll definitely direct anyone I know in the market for speaker stands to these.

See above comment about pros. If you're a tool, that's the box at the top.

PROS: Haven't had a chance to setup and tear down these stands over and over and over so I won't tell you thy THEY ARE GREAT AT TAKING ABUSE. They are setup in the corners of a practice room. Very easy to operate. Sturdy as can be. Truly a great buy. The air cushion helps when lowering the stands. The lockin pins are a great add on. If there is anyone up here that is complaining about the quality... You're a tool!

Simply put. The tighten screws for the collars for the main support shaft and legs is a plastic composite resin material for the wing but portion. If you don't realize you can't bear done on these without damaging them ... Let me say it again ... You're a TOOL! That's why there are locking pins added. Aside from that, I have use ultimate stands and the like. Bolts get lose, things wear out over time and anything can break if you man handle it like its indestructible. The ultimate stands I have, have broken parts on them.

So there ya go. Great stands or the price!

CONS: None. Guess maybe a carry bag could be added for both stands. You can find the adapters for different speakers on other sites for $5 a piece. So stop whining

I uses to stands to hold 15" powered PA speakers which roughly weigh 40s. In addition I mount heavy DJ lighting elements clamped onto the pole. These stands do the job. They don't feel cheap, wobbly or weak. I gig with them weekly and they just get tossed in a bag with other equipment and come out like new. They are durable enough for working musicians, sound guys and DJs.

PROS: For the price and quality compared to anything you can buy at GC it kills em.

CONS: The speaker pole is often a smaller diameter than the hole on the bottom of the speakers and lighting clamps so with vibration the lights and speakers start to rotate.

PROS: These are nice well made stands at a better price than you'll find inferior stands on stage for, if you catch my drift. Others reviews had me concerned about weight. Don't be. They're well made, but not boat anchors. They weigh what i feel a Hercules type stand would weigh.

PROS: Surprisingly well built for this price and is already being useful!

CONS: Like all air cushion support stands you must know how to get the air cushion to release properly to open and close the stands. The addition of an instruction sheet would help for those that haven't used a stand with that valuable safety feature.

These are fine stands and should hold up to regular use in many settings. I used them to hold 2 mid-size PA speakers, about 20 lbs each. It takes only a couple of minutes to loosen the set screws, unfold the feet, raise the stand to the desired height, and use the lock pin to hold the stand at the right height.

These speakers are heavier than I need, but that means they'll last a long time. I'm very pleased.

My only minor issues are that some of the holes were not drilled properly so I had to work at them for a bit so I could insert the locking pin, and (2) for the price I would have hoped for a heavy-duty nylon carrying bag. Other vendors sell comparable stands with an included bag.

These are minor, though. The stands are very good!

PROS: Well-built and sturdy, easy to use, cost

CONS: Holes not all drilled properly for he price should have included a carrying bag

I was looking for a second pair of speaker stands, but I was a bit skeptical of the quality because of the price. I received the shipment fairly quickly and the shipping price was cheaper than me picking up locally in LA. The first stand was expanded properly with no problem. The second stand had an issue with the wing bolt and retaining nut being threaded properly. I was nearly about to return the stands, but I took the wing bolt and nut and rethreaded it. Glad I kept the stands, because they're better than the OnStage Extreme stands I have now. The only gripe I really have is that it did not come with a bag and I had to go out and spend another $20+ for an OnStage Stands bag. I also see people complain that they are heavier than your average stand. In my case, I wanted a heavier stand to support heavier CV speakers I plan to purchase in the near future. So what if they're a couple pounds heavier. If it came with a quality bag, I would have rated a perfect score.

PROS: Supports heavier speakers, air cushion is a plus. All black with no funky colors.

CONS: No bag. Retaining nuts are hard plastic. Rubber or a rubber backing would have been better to give a better grip.

The stands are very sturdy and provide a good base for me to mount my speakers. Unfortunately, after a few uses, they have become increasngly difficult to collapse and the height adjustment clamp will no longer release properly on one of them, so you must fight it when you raise and lower the speaker.

This my second set of these stands, it's hard to beat the price, which is why I came back for another set. I've used better, easier to use, stronger, taller, etc, etc, stands before, but never for this price. A gig bag for these would make these more desirable to more people. To purchase a bag for these stands will cost you as much as the stands themselves.

One of the stands I received has one leg that is 1/4" shorter. So, when folded up, it won't stay upright. I'm also not planning on putting anything on it for fear that a large heavy speaker might come crashing down on someone. I guess I'm going to have to RMA these and try again.

PROS: Heavy duty. Seems well constructed. And price is excellent.

CONS: Quality control. One leg is SHORT, making the stand a bit unstable...

this the third set of stands that we have purchased, the first 2 came through Amazon.ca and the third purchased from Monoprice directly. This third set arrived with a broken locking knob.

The returns department assumes how to resolve issues without communication with the customer first. We ordered our three sets in order to obtain five stands our sixth was not necessary but had arrived damaged internally in the original packaging.

They assumed automatically that it was shipping that damaged it and when they were told by us that the box was not damaged. They offered to see if they had a replacement part and would ship that to the original shipping address. If they didn't have the replacement part they would ship an entirely new unit to the original shipping address, and it was up to us to go there and exchange the part and send the product back ourselves. These units weigh a substantial amount and they are oversized boxes to ship. At no time did they give us opportunity to explain that we would have just simply accepted a credit towards a future purchase because of the damaged product. This is what makes this a frustration for us as we do not live at the location where it is being shipped (UPS in Niagara Falls NY) and requires us to make special arrangements for it to be picked up. In order to have a product shipped to UPS there is a charge to accept the product and a daily charge for them to hold it. Why should be forced to incur these additional fees for replacement parts? This was explained to Monoprice on more than one occasion, yet they shipped it to UPS first and then let us know afterwards. So now as it stands at this time, we have contacted UPS and asked them to refuse delivery as it is not feasible for the problem to be resolved that way.

Bottom line is they sent us a defective product and have offered to replace but never asked us if replacing was the necessary route to resolve this issue.

PROS: overall solid construction for it's price compared to the other pro models on the market

I am not entirely satisfied with this purchase. One of the two stands ended up having a wedge-like piece fall out from the moving section where the screw holds everything in place.

The design seems questionable, as the middle section that slides up and down the base seems to have a part that does not stay in place, which causes the screw hole alignment to shift, making it impractical to screw in at an angle. I am not certain why it was designed this way, as both seem to do it. Now whenever I need to unscrew the part that holds the legs stationary, the plastic wedge with a washer falls out every time on one of the stands. It is not a pleasant experience to have to try and hold that piece in place, or pick it up to put it back in after it falls to the ground. The strange thing is that there was a small plastic cylindrical peg that held this into place, and with the movement of the parts, it seemed bound to break off like a knife cutting into it.

1/2 of the product works fine, the other half is almost rendered unusable depending on one small wedge that could easily be lost.

Thank you for your review on PID 602530. Truly sorry to hear a piece fell off from one of the stands. If it is possible to see the defect on the outside, are you able to send me a picture of the damaged piece? If you would like, I can assist you in setting up an RMA for a replacement as we cover these stands with a one year warranty. Or, if truly unsatisfied with the stands, I can setup an RMA for a return instead as we offer a 30 day return policy with no restocking fee. If you wanted to proceed with an RMA, please let me know if you would prefer to obtain a replacement or return the stands. My apologies for any inconvenience and thank you in advance.

To open the legs is a lot of work. They are sooo stiff. We had to have someone hold the stem while another loosened the nut and then spread out the legs. We bought some new ones for same price....another brand, and the upper knuckle is much larger and stronger....also larger in diameter legs and feet. So shop around. The ones we bought were Kustom brand I believe.

Overall I wish I had submitted for an RMA when I could have, but I (stupidly) tried to make do and I've now had them over a year. Have had such difficulty with them that I recently relegated them to the band's practices only (so I don't have to set them up or take them down) and bought a new pair of another brand for gigs.

PROS: Very solid. These seem like they could support house.

CONS: Very difficult to move poles up or down. I know about the air cushion thing when moving them down, but at least on mine it's a workout getting them to move in either direction. Also the very flimsy plastic cords that attach the pins to the poles readily broke, and one pin got lost. I ended up buying two ringed cotter pins from Lowes and attaching them to the pole with paracord.

I loved these at first, but after a few night's use, the straps for both stands holding the riser pin fell apart. That's not such a big deal. What is a big deal is that the nut holding the tripod compression fitting stripped under moderate pressure... after I'd mounted the speaker, the threading let loose, dropping the entire stand, which then fell on top of me. I don't recommend trying to catch a 50lb speaker. I don't know whether the riser pole bent before or after the fall, but it sure does curve a little now. =(

PROS: Cheap

CONS: Cheap. Smells like cat urine (seriously). Broke after only a few uses.

I had originally purchased one set of these speaker stands and as indicated by my other review, a key component of the moving pieces was broken, which caused trouble with them working properly. Monoprice created an RMA for a replacement and once they received the defective stands, they send out a replacement very quickly. The problem is, the replacement was worse off than the 1st set that I received.

One of the knobs was broken half off, and one of the pegs that I had issues with on the previous set already seemed to be breaking off.

I am unsure if anything can be done at this point because in the RMA section of the site, it shows that one was already done. I am really just wanting a full refund at this time and I will go with another set of speaker stands.

I truly apologize for the condition that the replacement stands arrived in. If I may ask, can you send me pictures of the broken knob and peg? Unfortunately, since we are a couple of months out of the 30 day return policy, I will be unable to setup a refund. What I can do is setup an return for store credit, though. If you would like to proceed with that option, please let me know and I will get that going right away. Thank you and I hope this helps.
